[01:07] <bkerensa> valorie: You read the Oregonian about Occupy Portland?
[01:07] <bkerensa> Their finance committee stole $20k in donations apparently
[01:08] <valorie> oh god
[01:08] <valorie> no, I hadn't heard
[01:08] <valorie> that destroys trust in a major way
[17:31] <seattlegaucho> http://blog.canonical.com/2011/10/27/retail-stores-in-china/
[17:32] <seattlegaucho> I wonder if they'd ever open one @ the U-Village or Bellevue Sq mall where the Apple and MSFT stores are
[17:32] <bkerensa> Word
[17:34] <shannonlucas> I wish they had some better picture of the advert materials (and some translations)
[17:35] <bkerensa> It would be nice to see Ubuntu billboards and bus ads
[17:35]  * bkerensa had actually though of seeking permission from Canonical to crowdsource a few bus ads in Portland
[17:35] <bkerensa> thought*
[17:36]  * bkerensa is unsure if he would actually need to ask for permission since it would be general advocacy under their trademark policy
[17:36] <shannonlucas> You're an employee though, right? That might complicate it a little bit.
[17:36] <bkerensa> ?
[17:36] <bkerensa> no
[17:36]  * bkerensa is just a contributor
[17:37] <shannonlucas> Oh, I thought you actually worked for Canonical
[17:37] <shannonlucas> :-p
[17:37] <bkerensa> nah :P
[17:37] <bkerensa> there is one person in this channel who does though but not me :D
[17:37]  * bkerensa would not want to work for Canonical
[17:37] <shannonlucas> oh?
[17:37] <bkerensa> :)
[17:38] <shannonlucas> I'm curious. Why?
[17:38] <bkerensa> Too busy as it is with Ubuntu contributing, personal projects, freelance and IRL :P
[17:38] <bkerensa> I would have to end all my freelance and likely stop contributing as much to Ubuntu by 50% or more
[17:38] <bkerensa> :D
[17:39] <shannonlucas> Yeah, that happens in the Drupal world when folks go to work for Acquia.
[17:39]  * bkerensa has no lack of work right now anyways :) I also do tech gadget reviews
[17:39] <bkerensa> and a good portion of the stuff I get from PR Firms I get to keep
[17:40] <bkerensa> in the last few months were talking thousands of dollars in free stuff :P
[18:21] <shannonlucas> bkerensa: that looxcie is a bluetooth camera?
[18:23] <bkerensa> umm idk
[18:23] <bkerensa> LOL
[18:23] <bkerensa> it just came
[18:24] <bkerensa> shannonlucas: Yep Bluetooth and also have iPhone and iPad app
[18:24] <bkerensa> :D
[18:24] <bkerensa> pretty cool
[18:28] <bkerensa> shannonlucas: They sent me two
[18:29] <bkerensa> shannonlucas: One to giveaway to my flock and one for me.... They also will be sending me these new model when it comes out
[18:29] <shannonlucas> The name is kind of fun too
[20:50] <valorie> who in the chan is a Canonical employee?
[20:51] <valorie> except the bot......
